Around the globe, Banya (Banya , บัญญา , Баня ) is a common unisex forename. The forename Banya is characteristic of Mongolia, where it is quite a common male name, India, where it is a rare largely female, but infrequently masculine name, and Bahrain, where it is a rare girly name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in India, Mongolia, and Pakistan. Likewise, Banya is the last name as well as the forename.
